Focus Control room environment for optimum media use. Experience with your students. (model the desired behavior) Turn on captioning if available Use the power of media player to use media interactively and point out important content Use “Thumbs up” technique, graphic organizers, etc. for interactive experience

Follow-up Follow-up the media experience Summarize the content Generate discussion Make students accountable for the media content Extend the learning and engage students’s individual learning modalities through kinesthetic and immersion activities FlickrCreativeCommons by chrisschuepp
